Sounds like you had a great birthday! Just remember, barbecue is different in other parts of the nation. Since I grew up in the northwest (had some great times in Tacoma), I thought it was just lighting some charcoal and cooking with it. Not in Texas; brisket is cooked over wood for hours. Anything else is not barbecue. People in Carolina, or Kansas, or Tennessee, or Maryland, would find that laughable. But would agree that putting a burger on a grill is not barbecue.
Sectionalism.
